There are many ways to do that. Typically this should be the finction of your subclassed control in your framework. For example, Codemine framework has .lValueMemory property, for all applicable controls. If .lValueMemory property is set to .T., the value is converted to text and stored in the registry (somewhere under HKEY_CURRENT_USER). However you can use the DBF on the local PC for that, if you want. When needed, the value is converted back from the text into the value type corresponding to this control, checked by the control's Valid() method, and restored as a control value if it passes validation.
